Our fourth child, age six, has shown very unusual powers of concentration. But with this concentration she slants her head, looks out of the corners of her eyes, draws the corners of her mouth down. My husband and / felt her ability one to ho cherished and ignored the mannerism, thinking she would outgrow it. It has persisted several years though it happens less frequently and for a shorter period. Many people, including her teacher, believe she should be stopped when detected. It became a joke to the older children when the teacher would exclaim. “Eileen, don’t look like that.” She just smiles when her attention is drawn to it, but, of copcse, the thought has disappeared, too.

It may be that the mannerism is more undesirable than your description indicates, but if it seems to be used less and less frequently, it is likely that the more unattractive features of it will be eliminated in time. Since the comment of the teacher doesn’t seem to bother her, you have nothing about which to __ j worry at that point. Guard against commenting upon her ability to others when she is present, lest she become too self-conscious about it.
